Me and my 3 boys finally had a drag day together. First time in a long, long time. We also had starting line passes so we were less than 10 ft. from the launch pad. We also got to meet several drivers and talked with some crew members. All I can say is, WOW. I am now a dedicated NHRA fan. Soooooooo, screw NASCAR.

I've hated ASSCAR ever since they went to tube chassis cars.

We went to funny cars under the stars a few weeks back, same thing here Rick, right at the line when the big boys ran, but that was because we were racing too lol
What a rush when they launch huh?

It was WILD!!!!!!!!!!!! We came home covered in specks of rubber and we could still smell the NITRO!!!!!!! I just couldn't believe how it sucked the air out of your lungs and how it shook your eyes so bad. I have some pics but I don't know how to post them here.

Well my annual Z Max race is just two weekends away in Concord NC. We have been going there since the inaugural event 4 years ago and camp out for three nights. A special treat this year for me will be Chris McGaha running his Pro Stock Dodge from the same town I grew up in / Odessa Texas. My family knew his father Lester for years and they have been running the Drag Strips since I remember. We met up with them in Atlanta for the Summit Nationals earlier this year and they are really good people. They invited us into the trailer gave us hats etc. They are just breaking into the NHRA scene and are throwing plenty of money at it. Anyway I have been getting the Wagoneer prepped for the event and this is my mini motor home I will be passing out in each night. Naturally the ice chest goes in first and will hold 4 cases of bottles, 20lbs of dry ice and 60lbs of regular ice. Who fucking needs food is what I say! Just kidding the second chest has food for those concerned . Yes same feelings for NASCAR here, Fuck the bastards if Dodge can't play. NASCAR is so sickening, but I'm pretty much down to Talledega and Daytona for the events I watch anyway and with Dodge being out so am I.
